Black & Decker Ultimate Sandwich Creation (Healthified Tuna Melt)

I was thrilled to be chosen to participate in the Black & Decker Ultimate Sandwich Campaign. I am always searching for new recipes to try out and I'm a huge sandwich fan.

Prior to dieting, my favorite sandwich was always a tuna melt. I'd take two pieces of white bread, slather them with butter and in between add tuna salad made with mayonnaise and several slices of Swiss cheese. Then I'd fry both sides until it was golden brown and the cheese was melted. Like I said, that was prior to dieting. I don't even want to think about how many calories that sandwich contains. Now that I'm watching my weight, I decided that my Tuna Melt needed to be healthified a little bit.

When I was asked by Black & Decker to be part of the Ultimate Sandwich Creation team, I was thrilled and decided that now was the time to create that Healthified Tuna Melt. Here's my recipe.

Healthified Tuna Melt

1 can solid Albacore white tuna (use half a can, drained)
2 tablespoons non-fat plain yogurt
2 slices of Weight Watchers whole grain bread
1 slice low fat Swiss cheese
lettuce & tomato
salt & pepper to taste

Mix half a can of the drained tuna fish with the non-fat plain yogurt. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place the bread into a toaster oven. I used the Black & Decker convection countertop toaster oven.

Carefully scoop the tuna fish mixture onto one half of the bread. Place a slice of the low fat Swiss cheese on the other slice.

Toast in the toaster oven until you see the cheese start to melt. Mine took about 4 minutes. Carefully remove from the toaster oven.

 Add lettuce & tomato and assemble your sandwich.

This version is very low in fat and contains whole grain bread and veggies which makes it a great choice for those watching their weight.
